MILL NOTICE.
The Centre Hall mill is now ready to
take in custom work and exchange flour
and bran grists, and will constantly keep
on hand Cream and Calla Lily flour for
gale at wholesale and retail,
For chopping the mill will be ready
about July 24. Corn chopped in the ear
or otherwise, and all kinds of teed mann-
factured. Arrangements have been made

TERMS CASH,
The business of the mill will be done
upon the cash principle, 1. Because our
recent heavy loss by fire obliges us to it
and to drop the credit system in order to
keep the mill in successful operation—
our friends will see the force of this, and
2. Because
the cash system is the only sound buosi-
ness principle. 3. Because
